Moonlight Dwelling

A little kid sits alone
No one wants to play
So she just sits and dreams
Of what she hopes will be
I'm going to be famous someday
A name that everyone knows
Adored and loved by all
I'll show them
They'll regret shunning me
But it was never to be
The dreams faded away
The hopes were lost
Nothing left to grasp
Just a big empty void
A shell of what she wanted to be
Now she is like a zombie
But there is still a sliver of hope
That hasn't been tread on yet
Maybe someday in the distance
The clouds will uncover
And the dream will be within reach
